Duratron™ PBI is the highest-performance engineering thermoplastic, offering unmatched thermal resistance and mechanical strength retention above 205 °C (400 °F). It exhibits superior wear resistance, load-bearing capacity, and cleanliness, making it ideal for semiconductor vacuum chambers and aerospace applications.
With excellent ultrasonic transparency and thermal insulation, it is perfectly suited for probe tip lenses, contact seals, and insulator bushings in plastic molding and processing equipment. Its non-stick behavior against molten plastics further enhances its suitability for high-performance industrial use.
Duratron™ CU60 PBI is the highest-performing engineering plastic available from Mitsubishi Chemical Group due to its superior mechanical properties, heat resistance and mechanical property retention over 205°C (400°F). This polybenzimidazole has better wear resistance and load-carrying capabilities at extreme temperatures than any other reinforced or unreinforced advanced engineering plastic. This makes this material highly attractive to semiconductor manufacturers for vacuum chamber applications. In addition, Duratron™ CU60 PBI is ideal for high-heat bushings, connectors, valve seats and probe tip lenses.
